Görlitz 20 (2011)

Overview

From designer Lance McMillan comes the expansion kit to Dresden 20 and Katzbach 20. Görlitz 20 is based on a battle that almost occurred during Napoleon’s final campaign in Germany, on 3-6 September 1813. One player commands the Coalition forces under the Prussian Marshall Gebhard von Blücher, while the other commands the French army under the command of Marshall Étienne Jacques MacDonald (which may be reinforced by elements of Napoleon’s Grande Armée).

This great near-battle creates a real “players” situation with few pieces and many tough decisions for both sides and events unfold all around you. Görlitz 20 is also featured as part of the Germany 20 series to link into a Campaign Game.

Note, Görlitz 20 is not a ‘stand alone’ game. You must own a copy of Katzbach 20 or Dresden 20 to use this expansion kit.
